Think this has a great chance today now that O'Brien seems to be getting over the virus. This horse has ran well this season anyway and probably doesn't need to step up on his form to go very close in this G3 anyway. 6th in the G1 Arlington Million lto and only just touched off after setting possibly too slow a pace at Leopardstown in a 4 runner G3 by Bolgers Turrett Rocks but still beat Derby 5th Hazapour a length. Ran down the field after sweating up before the start of the G1 Queen Anne but it's last years form that makes him a standout bet today. Btn just a length by subsequent Eclipse and Juddmonte International winner Ulysees in a G3 at Sandown and then beat Poets Word in a G3 at Chester before 2 fine 3rds in 2 G1s at the Curragh and again in the Queen Anne btn just 1 1/2 lengths by Ribchester. The fav having 1st run for nearly a year has to prove he's trained on and will stay 1m2fs. Unfortunately early 4/1-9/2 has long gone but 3/1 still available on here and a couple of books.
It looked at Naas in May that Success Days retains significant ability, getting into a duel with Yucatan (who it appeared imo was there to ensure the pace was kept honest for his stablemate Cliffs Of Capri to come off), and seeing that rival off (with useful yardstick Turret Rocks in behind) before succumbing to the late challenge of COC.
If the rain has arrived there and got into the ground, he looks a major player imo.

Yes looks to have a chance George, but was 3/4 length behind Deauville in the Tattersalls Gold Cup over virtually C/D last year on yielding ground, good luck George, good to get some racing input.

I was thinking if it's turned proper soft then that would be more in SD's favour, but it doesn't sound like it's too bad there and is being called good to yielding.
